How I turned Reddit growth problem into a $10k project!

1 year ago I tried to launch on Reddit.
I thought it would be my growth engine.
Instead, I got banned six times and made zero sales.

I could have quit. But I started watching closely. I learned how each subreddit actually works, what kind of posts land, how to blend in without looking spammy. Over time my posts started pulling in thousands of visitors.

That learning turned into MediaFa.st.

Here’s what it does today:
• Creates a step by step roadmap of when, where, and what to post
• Decides whether to push links directly or use storytelling that builds curiosity
• Lets you schedule posts, track karma, and even run strategy across LinkedIn
• Works natively and safely, without shady automations

Where things stand now:
• $1.5k+ MRR and $9,778 ARR
• $1.7k made in the last 3 months
• Dozens of founders using it daily
• Still solo, fully bootstrapped, and growing steadily

The mission is simple. Help founders actually grow on Reddit without bans, wasted time, or burnout.

👉 If Reddit growth has felt like a black box for you, give MediaFa.st a try. I’d love your feedback.

    For reddit: what if I got banned, deleted the account and then the new account got suspended because of ban evasion?

    What should I do?

    For me, two big roadblocks have been:

    • With FoundersInno, figuring out how early founders can showcase MVPs/prototypes and get noticed without spending on ads.

    • With Komplora, convincing startups that SOC2 compliance can actually be affordable and lightweight, since most only know the big, expensive tools.

    In both cases, balancing building vs getting traction has been the toughest part

    Congrats on launching 🚀! The toughest part isn’t building, it’s getting visibility in the early days. When I launched my first project, I wasted weeks submitting to directories one by one. That’s actually why we built (StartupSubmit .app)— it helps founders get listed on 300+ startup directories without the manual grind. Getting that exposure gave me my first wave of users. Wishing you lots of traction ahead!
